Torrefaction treatment of lignocellulosic fibres for improving fibre/matrix adhesion in a biocomposite
Marie-Alix Berthet,Jean-Michel Commandre,Xavier Rouau,Nathalie Gontard,Hélène Angellier-Coussy +4 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a torrefaction treatment was applied to wheat straw fibres in such a way to increase their hydrophobicity, which led to a better fibre/matrix interfacial adhesion in resultant composites prepared by melt-extrusion, as revealed by SEM observations.

Analysis of oxidized cellulose introduced into ramie fiber by oxidation degumming
TL;DR: In this article, the contents of aldehyde and carboxylate groups in ramie fibers were analyzed and the results showed that aldehydes can be produced from the oxidation reaction of hydrogen peroxide in the degumming process of ramie fiber.

Composites reinforced with cellulose based fibres
TL;DR: In this article, a survey about physical and chemical treatment methods which improve the fiber matrix adhesion, their results and effects on the physical properties of composites is presented, and the influence of such treatments by taking into account fibre content on the creep, quasi-static, cyclic dynamic and impact behaviour of natural fibre reinforced plastics are discussed in detail.
